And it included one of his favorite venerations of himself: The fatuous fantasy that his cult disciples are frequently reduced to tears whenever they are in his putrid presence. Describing the scene when he appeared in a New York courtroom to be <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=56622\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">arraigned on 34 felony counts of fraud<\/a><\/strong>, Trump said that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;When I went to the courthouse, which is also a prison in a sense, they signed me in and I&#8217;ll tell you, people were crying. People that work there, professionally work there. They have no problems putting in murderers, and they see everybody, it&#8217;s a tough, tough place. And they were crying.

Although it isn&#8217;t surprising that Trump would feel trapped there. But more to the point, Trump&#8217;s wild assertion that court staffers were crying and apologizing &#8211; which was <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/news.yahoo.com\/trumps-tale-of-crying-manhattan-court-employees-was-absolute-bs-law-enforcement-source-says-160349195.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">refuted by witnesses<\/a><\/strong> &#8211; is just plain preposterous. And among those who recognized that fact were the folks at Saturday Night Live. SNL&#8217;s <em>&#8220;Weekend Update&#8221;<\/em> segment featured <em>&#8220;anchor&#8221;<\/em> Colin Jost running a compilation of Trump&#8217;s prior claims that he makes people sob, and asking <em>&#8220;Why is everyone in Trump&#8217;s stories always crying?&#8221;<\/em> Jost followed that up by pointing out that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;You&#8217;re bragging that when people see you they just burst into tears?
